Description
When I was working in Hong Kong if we are not having yam cha or roast duck for lunch this Hong Kong Style Fish Fillets in Corn Sauce is what I have.
Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 600g fish fillet (best to use is fleshy white fish, I used monk fish)
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- oil for deep frying
Corn Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups corn kernels, best to use fresh ones
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp sugar
- salt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- spring onions, chopped
Instructions
Corn
- In a sauce pan combine together corn, chicken stock and sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, if using fresh corn simmer for 30 minutes.
- Mix water and cornstarch together then pour into the sauce pan. Simmer until sauce thickens
- Slowly pour beaten egg into the sauce pan while lightly stirring to form strands.
- Add sesame oil then season with salt.
Fish
- Prepare a deep fryer or wok with enough oil for deep frying.
- Season fish fillets with salt and pepper. Set it aside.
- Place and mix together flour and cornstarch in a bowl with cover set aside.
- Place beaten eggs in a shallow dish then dip fish fillets one at a time.
- Place fish fillets inside the bowl with flour mix one or two at a time then cover and shake to coat fish evenly.
- Deep fry fish until cooked then place in a paper lined towel to remove excess oil.
- Pour corn sauce on top then garnish with spring onions then serve.
Hi Raymund, I’ve never heard of this dish but I like the idea a lot. The family likes lightly battered fish and they LOVE corn. I should try this!

Fried fish is a staple in my life – and I think I could actually pull this recipe off without setting my kitchen on fire! SCORE!
I have never made a sauce similar and find the idea very attractive! Personally I do not generally fry food, but can imagine this with fish grilled or even steamed also . . .
Mmm that corn sauce looks really versatile too!
your recipes are always interesting and delicious, I love it, thanks for sharing

How super. Thanks for the recipe and now I don’t have to go out to eat this dish. As you know from living in HK I can say they are nuts about their corn. They have it in their bread, their desserts and even on top of their pizza’s. Really! Take care, BAM

Ahh.. I remember the lunchbox’s well. Usually when I got fed up of Oliver’s Super Sandwiches! Never tried to make them at home though, maybe I could follow your recipe and see …. Cath
I’ve had a hankering (Missouri talk for want some badly) for fish lately, this sounds tasty. 🙂

This is the recipe I was looking for. But it seems you forgot to include the egg in your instructions. Do I mix the egg with the flour mixture to form a batter? Hope to hear from you soon because i plan to cook this for family dinner tomorrow. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe.
Apologies, I added the step now. You should dip the fish into the egg then into the flour mix. Thanks for letting me know
